The U.S. Department of Transportation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have produced the Transportation and Health Tool, which was developed for planners, health professionals, and other practitioners to access data that can be used to examine the health impacts of transportation systems.

The tool provides data on a set of transportation and public health indicators for each U.S. state and metropolitan area. It also describes how the transportation environment affects safety, active transportation, air quality, and connectivity to destinations. It allows users to quickly see how their state or metropolitan area compares with others in addressing key transportation and health issues. It also provides information and resources for agencies to better understand the links between transportation and health and to identify strategies to improve public health through transportation planning and policy.
